Jonathan Essien '16 Recruiting Profile

My main priorities in life are God, family, and school, but my passion is track and field. All the training and lifting I do is to make me a better athlete on the track and in school to reach my goals, but mostly a better person. In school everyday is a new day to improve and to become BETTER, nobody is like everybody, that's why I'm staying focused and not worry about others. I have to work hard on season and off season to make sure I improve in any part of the race.I have a diet plan to help keep me fit and healthy for the season. And no matter how good I get, I will always improve and remain humble. I love track and field it's always on my mind thinking of how great I can become if I just put my mind into it. I'd love to do college track and field and be apart of something.I pray I make it somewhere and be apart of something great, I really want to pursue my dream into reality, I've grown to realize what it takes and I'm up for the challenge. I'll work my hardest to become a collegiate-athlete. My most dominant event in track is the 100m, and 200m, I have been an anchor for the 4x100m as well. I am training for my junior year track season and I want to make the best of it.  At the end of my season I want to feel like and know I have met my goals and move on to greater things. The best way to describe me is that I'm a believer, I believe I can do great things and be great that has been my mindset since I was young. I thank God for granting me with great health and speed to excel in this sport. Track is my passion. I love and enjoy running. I WONT STOP WORKING UNTIL I HAVE REACHED MY GOALS, AND EXCEL INTO HIGHER COMPETITION, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
